    F***ing Funny!

    Although I would slightly agree that this program is a slight rip-off of "meet the parents" etc., I would also say that it is much funny!

    Some of the jokes are obviously going to happen, and you find yourself squirming for Howard. The other jokes come from nowhere and are hillarious.

    It may well be unbelievable at times, but that is what true comedy is about! Not boring dull American comedy...

    My advise would be to watch the first episode for yourself and if you don't like it or have "seen it all before" then don't watch anymore!

    Personally, I can't wait until this comes out on DVD! :)

    Laughed more than usual

    I'm a hard person to get to laugh at any show. I don't know if it was just stupid enough, or actually funny. How can anyone be as clumsy and accident prone? It's good for a laugh, if you need it.

    Amazing!

    For me it's one of the best British comedies ever made.

    Of course so many things happening is unrealistic but virtually all of them are entirely plausible and both the casting and acting are superb.

    So many laugh out loud moments.

    Such as shame at least another series wasn't made but I have enjoyed watching the show three times.

    The Best 30 minutes of my week!

    I've never felt compelled to write a review or reply to anything on the net but this is pure genius!

    Ben Miller is perfectly cast as a hapless groom to-be, with an incredible knack of constantly digging an ever deeper hole for himself, in the lead up to his impending marriage.

    Every week i'd look forward to watch the next cringe worthy installment. It makes a refreshing change to watch a genuinely laugh-out-loud comedy without canned laughter. You'll laugh in all the right places (and sometimes wrong!) Head, shoulders, body and feet above any recent sit-coms. A riotous laugh! Truly fantastic.

    Quite brilliant comedy

    Without doubt the funniest comedy of this millennium, just ahead of the very different but also superb "Inbetweeners". The cast led by Ben Miller and Sarah Alexander are wonderful as is the hysterical script. Scene upon scene in each episode leaves the viewer wanting more, and the empathy felt in the light of the disasters that befall Miller's character add to the hope that all will be well in the end. So underrated and for me a rare 10 out of 10.
